Does anyone know if this will run on the Raspberry Pi (at least the Ubuntu Mini version)?

Looks like it never will, unless there's a Raspberry Pi with an ARMv7 (or up) arch.

Is there any particular reason you want it though? I use Raspbian on mine, and it works just fine. I couldn't be arsed with a GUI though, since the RasPi is just too underpowered to run a GUI alongside all the other crap I have running on it.

Not really, just because of familiarity with Ubuntu Server. Raspbian has been pretty great so far, no complaints here.

Raspberry pi has an arm6 chip I think and the minimum for ubuntu is arm7. It could be done but the OS would require considerable modification.

No it won't because the Raspberry Pi uses an older ARMv6 CPU type that isn't supported by Ubuntu.

Any particular reason or use case for this?

A friend has received his Pi yesterday, hasn't set it up. Can ask him to try it :-)
